BTW, is there any way to simulate filtered RD.i and RD.f? That should be possible with a help of brigde servlet having access to Tomcat's configuration data, right? Could you give me some clues where to start? Is there any possibility for a webapp to get acces to Tomcat's classes? From what I thought, it would be easy to do providing custom valve saving reference to it's context in ServletContext's attribute, but maybe there's some more direct way? > - Error page - no That hurts. Any possible workaround? Where are error pages (I need 404 only) handled? Maybe that one should be changed and/or configurable in server.xml? Is there anything I can do for now besides duplicating filtering logic directly in my 404? > > (*) In a web-connected environment, you must ensure that your > configuration respects this requirement.
